A 5easonabiy, Sensible Sentiment.

Here is what Bishop Whipple
lately said on the condition Of the
Indians to a Chica Tribune re-
porter. As the Bishop is we'll
known on this reservation and.
his sentiment being in accord
with ours on the subject in ques-
tion we take pleasure in placing
it before our readers. Though
we have seen ft at times to differ
in opinions with the Bishop upon.
Indian matters, and were not 10th
in making public our objections
and criticism, we are also ever
prepared to extend our sanction
on these matters whenever we.
think him to be in the right.
One thing you can say. and
that is that as long as the Indian
has an almshouse to go to, just so
long will he be a pauper. lie you.
have almshouses among white men
you will have white paupers, or
civilized paupers, and almshouses
amo Indians means savage pau
pers. They must realize that with
out labor there will be no food,
and they must learn to appreciate
the results Of labor. An Indian
kills a moose and invites all the
svagabond Indians he knows to
partake Of the feast. All sit around
and pick the bones Of that animal
clean, the owner not caring wheth-
er his family has a sup for the
morrow. When the same Indian
goes to work and tills the soil and
is rewarded with a crop Of grain
and the vagabond Indians come
around and ask to partake Of his
bounty he says No, if you want
corn go and work for it as I have
done The Indians should be-
come citizens, but we want to be
careful Of the right Of franchise.
America has been too free Of her
fgifts Of citizenship. I mean by
this that Indian citizenship should
not be controlled by politicians,
and it should not be granted as a
condition Of party service or in the
interests Of politicians. The In
dians, even the widest, are begin
ing to understand that they are
being hemmed in by the inroads
| of civilization, and that they must
prepare themselves for work or
perish.

Leprosy In minnesota.

Whether leprosy is a contagious
disease or not physicians will not
commit themselves by deciding.
But leprosy exists in two counties
in this state, and the authorities
need to bestir themselves lest the
people suffer from an unspeakable
affection. The eases to which we
refer are reported from Wilkin
and Otter Tail counties.
The APPALLING feature Of the situ-
alton consists Of the inability to
determine when the contagion
spreads, if there is contagion. The
related experience of those who
have the leprosy shows that it may
develop in person years after as
Isociation with the infected, or
years alter the peculiar dlet which
is supposed to produce it has
ceased to be used. The earlier
symptoms are slight and painless.
Their development toward the ag-
gravated stages Of the sickness
are slow but can not be arrested.
The experience Of Asiatic nations
for 2, 900 years has been that lep-
rosy is contagious, and with gen
eral carelessness Of hygiene lepers
have always been rigidly sequest-
rated BY them. It is the absurd
est folly for any community in the
United States to ignore the expe-
rience Of ages in this terrible mat-
ter, inetrring perils Of awful mag.
nitude. Authorities should take

AN INCIDENT.
The Ojibwa Indians until re-
cent years, looked upon the robin
in the light Of a guardian spirit, Z
this was more especially the case
when they were involved in war
with other tribes; as they believed
that if the robins warming notes
was heard in close proximity to
their camps, it was a signal that
a strong enemy was lurking near,
land for them to be on the alert or
to break camp and hasten away to
some more favorable locality. At
other times when there were bad
men, thieves--the robin was
believed to warn others Of their
dangerous presence. Illustrative

Graw has suddenly become very 81
lent on the question. whether Roger
testified that he gave him $50
check and put 500 in his pocket for
stealing a letter from private
house? 1t seems to us, if Roger did
not so testify McGraw would pub
lish the official report of the evil
dence. 1t seems to us, and it will
be found that all men respected by
their neighbors agree with us, that
a man who hires another man to
steal letters from private house,
ought not to occupy so responsible
a public office as that of Collector.
This matter will not be forgotten;
people are talking about it, and the
talk will grow louder as the election

PROHIBITION IN POLITICS.
Louisville Courier Journal.

The result in Texas is surprise.
Such an overwhelming majority
against the new crusade was not ex-
pected by either side. The Prohi-
bition candidate in Kentucky re-
ceived, comparatively speaking no
vote at all. Yet under the local OPP
ton law in both Kentucky and Tex
as large number of counties en-
force local ordinances prohibiting
the sale of liquor. 1t is evident
that in both States, it is the Judg-
ment of a large number of temper
ance advocates that this liquor ques-
ton should be dealt with as q local
and not as State or National issue.
Tennessee has an excellent statute
under which it has been possible to
restrict the growth ofthe liquor traf-
fic. Now that the Texas election is
over, the contest in Tennessee will
be watched with interest. All that
has been accomplished for temper
ance has been done under local reg
ulation or restriction. When this
